She Belongs To The Devil

Chapter 322 - Face Off

Before Lillian could see who it was or guess what was about to happen to her, Agnes pointed both of her palms at Lillian and made a swift motion as though she was throwing something invisible in the air.

And with that, Lillian was thrown away from the humans and right in the middle of the coven of witches who were hiding in plain sight.

"Arghhhh!" Lillian crashed down on the ground with a thud and her loud scream resounded throughout the creek, prompting all the birds to fly away in the air.

Lillian's guards were taken by surprise when they heard that scream of the Queen they were supposed to protect. They all turned to see that the Queen was lying on the dirty ground several meters away from where she was before.

"Protect Her Majesty!" The squad leader instantly ordered all the guards at the top of his lungs. He swiftly rode his horse towards the Queen followed by the other cavalries and foot soldiers.

Those who were standing near Agnes instantly deduced that the woman in white was a witch. "Don't move! Move a finger and you die." Two of the soldiers immediately pointed their swords at Agnes's neck.

Agnes wanted to laugh at how little the soldiers knew about the witches. "As if I need to move a finger!" she thought to herself and smirked.

She gave an intense glare to both of the soldiers and both of them were rendered immobile.

She then got up from the ground and with a swift movement of her fingers, her wound was completely healed.

Agnes then noticed that a few of the soldiers were already getting closer to Lillian.

"Not so fast, soldiers!" Agnes whispered and instantly threw them away from Lillian as though they were nothing but ragdolls. She then erected a temporary barrier to prevent the guards from getting too close to her and Lillian.

After that, she calmly walked towards Lillian while Lillian was busy cursing and getting up on her feet.

"You b*tch! Who do you think you are? How dare you attack the Queen for no reason? You must be craving to meet your end."

Lillian glared at Agnes, still not recognizing her, and shouted furiously, "You've got some nerves to glare back at me like that. Don't you know who I am? I can kill you with a snap of my finger right here and now!"

Lillian could have killed Agnes instantly but her sadistic nature didn't allow her to kill Agnes that easily. She wanted to torture her before finally killing her. She flared her nose and screamed, "Kneel down! Apologize to me and beg for your life! I might even be benevolent enough and forgive you for your little act."

Agnes stopped a little further away from Lillian and sneered, "I know very well who you are, Lillian. And I know how corrupted your powers are. Which is why I have brought some help."

"Help?" Lillian cackled grimly and mocked, "No help can save you from me, you twerp!"

Agnes was stalling Lillian deliberately. All the other witches were busy creating a much stronger barrier around them so that they could protect the innocent humans from getting involved in the witches' business. Right now, the barrier was only visible to the witches of the Mystic Coven.

Seeing that the barrier was almost complete, Agnes gave Lillian a provoking smirk and added, "Oh, where are my manners? Let me reintroduce myself before we test our powers. I am Agnes, your ex Court Lady. And I have my coven with me."

One by one, all of the witches began appearing around Lillian. They had successfully erected the barrier that encircled all the witches. And they were ready to fight their oldest enemy.

Lillian finally realized what was happening. She recognized each and every one of them now... or most of them. But rather than being wary of the danger that she was in, she began to cackle mockingly.

"Agnes! Agnes! Agnes!" Lillian spoke while still laughing like she lost her mind, "I cannot believe that you are still alive!"

She glanced at the witches around her and clasped her hands together as if she was happy to see them, "Aww! What a sweet reunion!"

She didn't recognize Sybil though, the one whose tongue she had carved out years ago.

She then grimly raised her voice, "You poor things must be out of your minds. Are you seriously thinking that you all can take me down just because there are more of you?" She gave a piercing gaze to Agnes and roared, "I don't think so!"

In an instant, a gust of dark mist hovered above Lillian. She held out her palm and made a choking gesture right from where she was. And even though she was very far away from Agnes and wasn't even touching her, Agnes began to choke.

Agnes was holding her neck and was trying to break free from Lillian. But she was unsuccessful.

Before her life was snuffed out, Tabitha stepped forward and did a crumbling motion with her palm. Lillian abruptly stopped hurting Agnes because she herself was suffering from excruciating pain in her chest. She felt as though someone was crushing her heart from the inside.

"Why don't you pick someone your own size?" Tabitha gritted her teeth while still squeezing Lillian's heart.

Lillian was grunting and screaming while holding her chest. She was trying her best to turn the table but Tabitha seemed to be equally powerful as her.

Lillian's guards could clearly see and hear everything that was happening inside the barrier. They could see that their Queen's life was in grave danger. They were desperately trying to get close to their Queen but something invisible was stopping them from advancing after a certain point.

Edwin and his guards were standing anxiously beside the carriage. As instructed by Edwin beforehand, none of his guards went to assist Lillian's guards. Rather, they were surrounding Edwin and were on high alert. They did not want another coven of witches to sneakily attack their Prince.

Lillian's guards were trying everything in their power to get inside the barrier. The squad leader was instructing, "Everyone, try to cut through at once. Maybe we can weaken whatever magic those witches have cast. Try to break it!"

And all of the guards were doing the same. Some were trying to cut the invisible barrier, some were punching and kicking it, while some were trying to run through it just to hit an invisible wall.

In the middle of the chaos, one of the guards suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs, "Look over there! What's that?"
